NOTES TO TEXT.
GLOSSARY OF MORE OR LESS OBSOLETE WORDS.
"There is absolutely no inscriptional evidence whatsoever, nor any ancient classic Greek or Roman reference, for the existence of Abraham or any of the Jewish patriarchs or prophets of the Old Testament, nor for Moses, Saul, David, Solomon, nor any of the Jewish kings, with the mere exception of two, or at most three, of the later kings. [viz. "Jehu, son of Khumri" (which latter name is supposed to be "Omri" of the Old Testament), who is mentioned in the tribute-lists of the Assyrian King Shalmaneser II. in 842 B.C.; and "Hezekiah of Judah" who is mentioned in the tribute-lists of the Assyrian Sennacherib in 701 B.C.] All of these are accepted and implicitly believed to be historical by our theologians merely on the strength of their having been believed by our Christian ancestors, because they were believed by the Jews themselves. The only difference between the accepted Jewish tradition and the rejected British tradition is that the former is actively taught as true by incessant repetition in church and Sunday schools to everyone from childhood upwards; whereas the equally well authenticated Early British traditional history is actively disparaged and stigmatized by modern writers, the one mechanically repeating the other, as mere fabricated fables or forgeries, despite the above-cited facts to the contrary. But there is inscriptional evidence, as we shall see." --WADDELL: "The Phoenician Origin of Britons, Scots & Anglo-Saxons" (1924), pp147-8
